A doctor set is a collection of doctor props for dressing up, such as a stethoscope, a surgical cap or a head reflector, with which you are immediately recognizable as a doctor. With such a doctor costume set you complete a doctor costume or put one together yourself, because surgical sets with a cap and reflector in green and turquoise shades stand next to a doctor bag with plastic instruments and nurse sets in red and white. The sets are intended for women and men who play the doctor during carnival or at a theme party, and the multi-piece set with reflex hammer and wooden spatulas also works as a doctor set for children, because the parts are not tied to a size.
Doctor sets for the operating room, the consultation room or the nurse role
- If you play the surgeon during carnival, the sets with surgical cap, face mask, head reflector and stethoscope give you the full operating room look, in mint green, soft green or turquoise.
- For the family doctor at a theme party, the doctor bag with plastic instruments is a good choice, just like the set with a reflex hammer, wooden tongue spatulas and a fake stethoscope.
- For a nurse role, there are sets in red and white, and one women's set combines a cap with a white cross on a headband with a garter and a syringe that also writes as a pen.
- If you are only looking for small items to hand out or give as a gift, white latex gloves and a clear syringe come together on a blister card.
Choosing a doctor set: headwear and reflector or instruments in your hand
You build a complete doctor look from two layers: something on your head and face, and something around your neck or in your hand. The surgical sets cover both, because the cap, face mask, reflector and stethoscope come together. The instrument sets do the opposite and give you things to play with, but no headwear. Anyone looking for a plastic doctor set that is more of a toy than a costume should go for the doctor bag, because all the instruments in it are made of plastic and intended as dress-up props, not as medical devices. If you have a latex allergy, pay attention to the kit with gloves, because they are made of latex.
Which syringe or stethoscope still belongs with your doctor set?
A surgical set already includes the stethoscope, so what you are still missing is something in your hand, and a doctor syringe completes a needle scene. If you take the kit with gloves and syringe, there is still nothing around your neck, and for that you look for a separate stethoscope for carnival. If you wear a nurse set in red and white, choose extras in the same colors from the doctor & nurse accessories, so that the whole thing stays together.
A doctor set for carnival or a theme party
During carnival, a doctor set is a quick way to appear as a medical team or operating crew, because everyone with a cap and reflector immediately belongs together. It works just as well at a theme party, for women and men who want to keep the dressing up simple. You just wear the items over your own clothes, so you don't need much else.
Order a doctor set for your own doctor role
What you play determines the set: a surgeon requires a cap and reflector, a family doctor instruments and a nurse red and white. Once you have made that choice, order before 11:59 p.m. and your doctor set will be delivered the next day.
